the japanese and english white quails are widespread strains and belongs to the galliformes order, phasianidae family, coturnix genus  and japonica species. these birds are likely to be well-adapted to the hard conditions and resistance to diseases as it has attained economic importance as an agricultural species. in the current study, the genetic variation of japanese and english white  quail ...

a total of 240 japanese quail chicks (1 d old) were used in a 42-d trial to study the effects of artichoke leaf powder and vitamin e on growth performance and meat quality. this experiment was performed as a completely randomized design with 4 replicates of 15 quails in each, using a 4×2 factorial arrangement with diet and gender as the main effects. four dietary treatments were formulated by a...

Using highly extended lampbrush chromosomes from diplotene oocytes, we have examined the distribution of heterochromatin protein 1 beta (HP1 beta) and histone H3 modifications on chicken (Gallus gallus) and Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica) (2n = 78) microchromosomes. Acrocentric microchromosomes of chicken and submetacentric microchromosomes of quail differ in several morphological features. ...

in the present research, divergent selection for japanese quail body weight at four and five weeks of age was performed in five generations to estimate the response to selection and realized heritability. the average body weight was significantly (p

Relative potencies of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), 2,3,4,7,8-pentachlorodibenzofuran (PeCDF), and 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzofuran (TCDF) were determined in vitro in primary hepatocyte cultures of chicken (Gallus gallus), ring-necked pheasant (Phasianus colchicus), and Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica) embryos. Concentration-dependent effects on ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase (EROD...

colibacillosis caused by avian pathogenic escherichia coli (apec) is an economic threat to the poultry industry throughout the world. some of the virulence genes may enhance the ability of e. coli isolates to grow in the tissues of broilers. the apec strains are assigned to a few distinct phylogenetic groups. the purpose of the present study was to detect the virulence genes and phylogenetic gr...

A monoclonal antibody (4C7/2E4) that binds to an antigen located on the midpiece of turkey spermatozoa has been produced and characterized. The antibody was also reactive to antigens on the midpiece of chicken, Japanese quail, and bobwhite quail spermatozoa but was unreactive to spermatozoa from guinea fowl, human, horse, boar, and bull. Immunogold transmission electron microscopy of turkey spe...
